Simo,

For the most part I think we should merge the new idmap code.
There are a couple of problems though.

First, I'm not sure that I entirely like the configuration
parameters.  But I don't have a really good alternative right
now.  My hesitation is only due to the complexity. The smb.conf
settings seem to reflect a great deal of the internals of the
code.

Second, the gid_to_sid() code is failing for the when using
the nss idmap backend.  The reason is that group mapping code
is just broken for Samba members servers in a Samba domain.
Of course, this was already the case, but where a gid should
be mapped to the Unix group domain, it is not showing up in ACLs
as S-1-0-0.  the gid_to_sid() call should fall back to the legacy
gid_to_sid() if the winbind lookup fails regardless of whether or not
winbindd is running.

Neither of these are showstoppers however.  Please merge to SAMBA_3_0.
I'd like to review the configuration settings before we release
the code in 3.0.24pre1.




cheers, jerry
